How Does It Work?
HALO™, the world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser (HFL). It delivers non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone, giving you the result that you will love without the discomfort or downtime of traditional laser treatments.
Your skin’s tone and texture will continue to improve for some time after your treatment as the dermal regeneration phase is triggered and increased production of collagen results in skin tightening.
The Procedure
Our Aesthetician will begin by applying numbing cream over the treatment areas, after a specified period of time, the cream is removed and the skin is gently cleansed.
The typical treatment last about 45 minutes (not including numbing time, more for additional areas requested). HALO™ is not just a treatment limited to the face- the body can also be treated.
The Result
Long term sun exposure, active lifestyle and the wear and tear of everyday living results in visible signs of skin damage. HALO™ corrects these issues while addressing the appearance of:
- Signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars (including acne scars)
- Loss of skin firmness
- The appearance of enlarged pores
- Pigmentation and uneven skin tone from sun damage

FAQs
You’ll feel some tingling during treatment. Discomfort is minimized by numbing cream and by the use of Pronox (recommended). Following the treatment you may feel the sensation of heat for the first two hours which can be minimalized by taking ibuprofen or Tylenol before the treatment begins. You will have redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Peeling and flaking of the skin will also occur during this time as the skin heals and regenerates. Most of your normal activities can resume 24 hours after treatment, with careful attention needed to avoid direct sunlight or harsh skin products such as exfoliants or retinoids for the first several weeks. It is important to follow the prescribed post-care routine to make the healing process as smooth as possible.
This really depends on the starting condition and type of your skin. However, very noticeable improvements will be seen even with one treatment. With more severe scarring or signs of aging, two or three treatments may be recommended to reach even better results.
Depending on the number and size of the areas being treated, the whole process typically takes around 45 minutes, not including numbing time.
